"Families like Hana’s are being forced to face their darkest hours alone," says Ms Polaczuk. "Hana’s call for a mental health inquiry is supported by tens of thousands of people not because her story is unique, but because it reflects a shared experience of a system that is failing the people who need it most."

Polaczuk says the unions' members were "stretched" with many crisis teams "on the brink of collapse".

People’s Mental Health Review spokesperson and Psychotherapist Kyle MacDonald says whoever wins the election, services need an overhaul: "The only thing that’s changed since we launched the recommendations of the People’s Mental Health Report is that things have gotten worse," he said.
